Enduring Postwar

Yasuoka Shtar (1920-2013) was perfectly situated to become Japan's premier chronicler of the Shwa period (1926-89). In Enduring Postwar, the first literary and biographical study of Yasuoka in English, Kendall Heitzman explores the element of memory in Yasuoka's work in the context of his life and evolving understanding of postwar Japan.
